Arsenal put six past Lyon

Arsenal hammer Lyon 6-0 to get their Emirates Cup campaign off to an emphatic start.

Arsenal have eased to a 6-0 win over Lyon in the opening match of this year's Emirates Cup.

The Gunners did the bulk of the work in the first half, scoring four goals to all but seal the victory.

Olivier Giroud and Mesut Ozil combined to give Arsenal the lead with 29 minutes on the clock as the former rose highest to head Ozil's free kick into the net.

The home side extended their advantage on 35 minutes through Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who fired into the bottom corner following a quick counter-attack.

It got better for Arsenal just a minute later as Alex Iwobi took advantage of some poor defending to drill the ball home before a simple finish from Aaron Ramsey made it 4-0 at the break.

Arsenal continued to dominate at the start of the second half, and they scored their fifth goal of the afternoon on 62 minutes when Ozil lashed the ball past the goalkeeper after a slick passing move.

The rout was then completed five minutes from time thanks to a casually-taken free kick from Santi Cazorla.
